The political landscape in Mexico is heating up due to ties between Senator Andrea Chávez and former MORENA coordinator Adán Augusto López. Their affinity, no secret in political circles, has become a problem following accusations against Augusto López. These accusations, linked to his alleged criminal ties during his governorship in Tabasco, are causing alarm within the ruling 'Fourth Transformation' (4T) coalition. There is growing concern within the party that Augusto López's support for Chávez's candidacy for governor of Chihuahua could harm their chances of maintaining an absolute majority in the legislative bodies by the 2027 elections. His campaign team even repeats the phrase: 'Don't help anymore, buddy'. Nevertheless, Adán Augusto López reiterated his full support for Senator Chávez on Tuesday. After resigning as MORENA coordinator, he stated he will work as an electoral and territorial operator in the fourth electoral district, which includes Mexico City, Guerrero, Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala. His actions are seen as a challenge to the National Palace, which has begun to back candidates for yet-to-be-confirmed positions. One of Chávez's closest advisors advised her to completely distance herself from Augusto López, which has caused displeasure in government circles, fearing the start of public revelations and endorsements that could disrupt attempts to strengthen unity and improve numbers for 2027.
